The Marina

They sit, seldom still, naked
yet not silent - beckoning,
like a wind chime concert
of tapping halyards, 
wave slapped hulls and
groaning lines where freedom hints
to their captains, "To sea, to sea".

The call is very real in this piece, Craig. Loved the imagery in those lines...Groaning lines where freedom hints...we all hear those sounds. Thanks for the visit to my blog.
